LDRA Academic Alliance Program (LAAP)

Professional certifications are important in today’s employment as companies prefer to appoint candidates with existing and relevant skills who require limited training. Through collaboration with academic institutions the program aims to empower the student community and prepare them for employment by facilitating a broad range of resources and support to faculties and students. The LDRA Academic Alliance Program is vital for this fast-changing and specific-skilled industry scenario.

LAAP aims to provide a platform with a thorough understanding of advanced testing methodologies and compliance with industry specific standards such as DO-178B/C (Avionics), ISO 26262 (Automotive), IEC 61508 (Industrial) and IEC 62304 (Medical Devices) etc. Initial focus will be predominantly within the aerospace sector then extending slowly to other verticals.

Why LAAP?

Safety critical sectors are recognising that students are not fully qualified – By 2022, India is projected to be short of more than 103 million skilled workers

Provides unique opportunities to educate engineering students, developers and software safety experts who wish to become familiar with current source code analysis techniques and methodologies

Opens up career opportunities in the safety and security industry
